Acetyl Hexapeptide-1 Powder (Melitane Type)

Acetyl Hexapeptide-1 powder, the Melitane-type peptide

Acetyl Hexapeptide-1 is the INCI of the peptide sold under the Melitane trade name, and its CAS is 448944-47-6. This listing is the water-soluble powder, sold from a 1 g pack. Take the use level from the supplier documentation for your lot.

A peptide for a warmer glow

Acetyl Hexapeptide-1 answers a different brief from most hexapeptides. Instead of expression lines, supplier copy places it in products for a warmer, more even looking glow, the story told by sun-season body lotions and radiance creams. Glow serums, radiance day creams, body lotions, after-sun gels and tinted moisturizers are the natural formats.

Not Hexapeptide-8

The number matters. Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 solution is an expression-line peptide, while Hexapeptide-1 is a different sequence with a different purpose. Mixing the two up on a label or a claim sheet is a common mistake.

Working with the powder

Weigh the powder on a calibrated balance and dissolve it completely in a small portion of the batch water before it meets the rest, then add the premix at cool-down, below 40 °C. Make sure the premix is clear. Keep it away from strong oxidizers and systems very rich in salts; a mild, water-rich base is the safest home.

Solution or powder

Melitan carries Acetyl Hexapeptide-1 in a glycerin, water and dextran solution for teams that prefer not to weigh dry peptide. For a glow routine, Fision GlowPlex adds a radiance complex. Compare dry options in our peptide powders.
